Welcome to 2018. Myself and my husband Alan love welcoming international guests to our fantastic capital city and to our home which is in a quiet, friendly street in Streatham South London with our 2 cats Sammy and Jack. The house was built in 1930 and has a garden. The bus stop and rail train station are less that 7 minutes walk from the house. Our house is relaxed and quiet for your stay. A light breakfast, fresh towels, toiletries and hairdryer are provided and included in room price.
It is easy to get to the tube (Brixton or Balham underground station). The nearest rail stations are Streatham Common (7 minutes walk) and Streatham (10 minutes by bus). We have good connections to London Gatwick, London Heathrow and London Luton airports. London Stanstead is a bit further away.

There is free street parking outside the house 24/7 every day. We now have the 24 hour tube to Brixton on Saturdays and Sundays and night buses every day so you can get home 24/7 all week.

You can get to central London, tourist places (Oxford Street, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, museums, markets and galleries) and shops like Primark in 30 minutes. You can also get to Brixton or Croydon in 20 minutes which are both good places for food, clothes and shopping.

We have a gym, swimming pool, park, bars, shops supermarkets, cinema, clubs and restaurants within 10 minutes by bus.

We have travelled to lots of cities in Europe and also visited many places in Africa, South America, Israel, USA and Scandinavia and enjoy meeting new people from all over the world. We have had guests stay with us from all around the world, including the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, Russia, USA, Spain, Austria, Sicily, Bulgaria, Finland, Columbia, Macedonia, Canada, Sicily, Algeria, Australia, Malta, South Africa, Germany, Morocco, China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, France and Italy. We are happy to host language students, tourists, interns and anyone starting a new job in London. We will do our best to help you enjoy your stay in London. We are happy to recommend restaurants, bars, markets, tourist places and help you plan your travel and make the best of your stay.
Just one thing; no unaccompanied children (under 18) allowed (sorry).

Our stay was a wonderful experience! Helen and Alan both have such an extensive knowledge of the great city of London, which they happily shared. The breakfast was delicious (particularly loved Helen's home made jam!) and it was a delightful way to start each day. I like that this house is in easy reach of London Victoria (fast train 30 mins), but also provides respite from the city.

I couldn´t have chosen a better place to stay. Helen and Alan are a very nice couple and they do really care about their guests. The house has a cozy relaxing atmosphere and the big sun-lighted room is just perfect. And what to say about the cats, Sammy and Jack, two lovely little panthers that will delight any cat lover. I would definitely book with them again.

I had a lovely time staying with Helen, Alan and the cats! I was made to feel very welcome from the very outset, the room was clean, bright, comfy and very spacious. It's a shame I didn't have time to sample the beautiful breakfast Helen had laid out but I certainly will next time. Strongly advise anyone thinking of staying in the area to stay here, you will love it.

Hi Jennifer, thanks so much for your lovely review. We (all 4 of us) loved having you stay - you were a great considerate and friendly guest - do come back and stay longer next time you are in London and sample the breakfast.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
